Bob's Caravans

I recently spent some time with friends from my car club and they had recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. It turns out they spent their honeymoon in a caravan, and have more or less owned a van ever since. Any photos? was my immediate question, the van, not honeymoon. Very quickly he produced some photos showing his new Mini 850 with a hired bondwood in tow back in 1964.
Three views of it here if anyone knows what it might be. Check out the frost on the roof of the Mini in the first one. In 1967, still with the Mini he and Kay hired this aluminium van. kay and the first kiddie in the background. In 1973, with a new Mazda they had bought a Cruiser Hardtop, which he tells me was produced in the A.C.T. I can't find anything about them, but I'm sure there couldn't be too many caravan builders in the A.C.T.? They have continued with a range of pop top vans and still own a Jayco which is towed with their X Trail.
